## About the role

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, you will build Crux AI's powered campus pipeline, leading the origination, structuring, acquisition, and development of the sites that carry the platform to roughly 2 GW of annual delivery. You will own each opportunity from origination through infrastructure hold point, handing over campuses that are ready for vertical construction.

## What they're looking for

- Origination through campus readiness. Senior experience in data center, digital infrastructure, power, or infrastructure development, with personal ownership of advancing large-scale projects from origination all the way to campus readiness
- Power markets and utility engagement. Strong command of power markets, interconnection, utility engagement, and grid dynamics — specifically in constrained or competitive environments where capacity is contested
- Securing infrastructure, not procuring inputs. Proven ability to secure and coordinate the full set of critical infrastructure required to enable development, rather than sourcing individual components in isolation
- Complex deal structuring. Track record identifying, structuring, and executing development opportunities that deliver scalable capacity, with fluency across land, permitting, entitlements, and stakeholder engagement
- Long-lead dependency management. Experience managing long-lead infrastructure requirements and multiple interlocking dependencies inside complex development programs
